[GRLUG] Thunderbird not leaving mail on server

[Eric Beversluis]

It looks like Thunderbird at some point changed the account on the Win
box to IMAP. (When T'bird did an upgrade?--I'm quite sure the account
was set up as POP.)

I like the way POP has worked: I can access mail from other boxes when I
want to but it stays on the server till I download to my main Evolution
mail client on the Linux box. And it doesn't disappear when I delete it
from a client on a different box. What reason would there be to change
my main account to IMAP rather than changing the Win/Thunderbird client
to POP?
